Chapter 286: Kill

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Kill

Elite Blood Breath Bats dove toward the soldiers, grabbing those who were throwing projectiles and carrying them high into the sky before releasing their claws.

"Ah!"

Several soldiers fell screaming to their deaths.

Seeing this, Long Ming and the others immediately raised their firearms and opened fire.

BANG! BANG!

These elite Blood Breath Bats were extremely agile. Only a few were hit, and the shots were useless unless they struck a vital spot.

But just as Long Ming and his men found the situation becoming difficult...

Streaks of red arrows shot through the air toward the sky.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

With each massive explosion, an elite Blood Breath Bat was shot down.

Long Ming turned his head to look.

He saw Qian Ying sprinting, continuously drawing her mechanical bow and loosing one red arrow after another.

Nearly every arrow she fired found its mark.

Long Ming was momentarily in awe. Qian Ying’s archery was on another level. He knew how hard it was to hit these elite Blood Breath Bats, even with firearms.

"ROAR—"

Just then, another terrifying roar echoed from the sky.

The Lord Level Argoslo had locked onto Qian Ying and was diving down from the sky at high speed.

Qian Ying leaned forward on her right foot, drew her bow to its full extent, and loosed three red arrows at the descending Argoslo.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The three red arrows struck Argoslo and exploded, blasting open three mangled, bloody wounds. However, the effect was very limited.

Argoslo continued its high-speed dive. The immense wind pressure it generated sent soldiers in its path flying. It then spread its sharp talons and swiped at Qian Ying.

Qian Ying dodged with a nimble sideways leap, rolling across the ground to get clear.

Missing its target, Argoslo immediately pulled up, circled in the air, and prepared to strike again.

Seeing this, Long Ming shouted to Jing Chuan.

"You handle things here! I’m going to take care of that thing!"

"Right!"

Jing Chuan immediately replied.

Long Ming charged forward discreetly. This Lord Level Argoslo was a menace.

If it weren’t for this creature, they wouldn’t be on the defensive like this.

So, Long Ming decided to risk it all to take it down. However, he didn’t rush in recklessly to attack.

’With this type of flying Blood Breath Beast, you either have to find a way to break its wings or kill it in a single blow. Otherwise, if it manages to disengage from the fight, chasing it down is nearly impossible.’

’Besides, these Blood Breath Beasts have insane regenerative abilities. They can even devour their own kind to quickly heal their wounds.’

’So if it gets away, all our previous attacks will have been for nothing.’

That was why Long Ming planned to use the beast’s fight with Qian Ying as a chance to find an opening for a sneak attack.

At that moment, soldiers rushed forward to help Qian Ying, firing relentlessly at Argoslo.

BANG! BANG!

The dense volley of bullets struck Argoslo’s massive body, riddling it with small holes.

Enraged, Argoslo opened its mouth and spewed a searing mist toward Qian Ying and the other soldiers.

A determined glint flashed in Qian Ying’s eyes. She didn’t dodge the incoming red mist. Instead, she drew a dark-red arrow and nocked it on her mechanical bow.

PFFT—

In an instant, the red mist enveloped Qian Ying and the surrounding soldiers.

"Ah!"

Screams of agony rang out all around her.

Qian Ying, completely unaffected, relied on her instincts and loosed the dark-red arrow.

SWISH!

The dark-red arrow shot through the red mist and struck Argoslo right in the eye.

BOOM—

A huge explosion erupted.

"ROAR—"

Argoslo let out a pained shriek. Its entire right eye had burst open, and dark-red blood gushed out.

But even so, Argoslo didn’t fall from the sky. Instead, it furiously extended its massive claws and lunged at Qian Ying.

Qian Ying’s expression changed. It was too late to dodge.

BANG—

Just then, the deafening crack of a gunshot suddenly rang out.

The left side of Argoslo’s head was hit.

A massive explosion swept over it.

"ROAR—"

Argoslo’s enormous body instantly tilted to the right and came crashing down toward the platform.

Qian Ying was startled for a moment, then quickly dodged to the left.

BOOM—

Argoslo slammed heavily onto the platform.

At that moment, Long Ming charged forward with incredible speed, using its wing as a foothold to leap onto Argoslo’s body and race toward its wounded head.

Sensing extreme danger, Argoslo struggled to get up, wanting to beat its wings and escape.

Long Ming, however, took out several cryo-grenades and threw them at Argoslo’s head.

THUD—

The cryo-grenades smashed against Argoslo’s head and burst open.

Frost instantly encased its head.

In agony, Argoslo thrashed its massive head.

"Hah!"

Seeing he was about to run out of time, Long Ming threw caution to the wind. He leaped into the air, raised the Dark Blade in his hand, and plunged it downward.

CRACK!

The Dark Blade sank nearly halfway into Argoslo’s skull.

"ROAR—"

Argoslo let out a howl of pain and forced its wings to beat, its huge body beginning to rise into the air.

"Long Ming!"

Jing Chuan turned his head, saw what was happening, and shouted in terror.

If Argoslo carried him away, he was as good as dead.

At that instant, Qian Ying rapidly fired a volley of red arrows at Argoslo’s wings.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The red arrows struck Argoslo’s wings and exploded one after another.

Argoslo’s body shook violently, but it still managed to climb higher, bit by bit.

But Long Ming didn’t panic. Instead, he fully activated his Dark Owl’s power assist and drove the blade down with all his might.

CRACK!

The entire Dark Blade plunged straight into Argoslo’s head.

Argoslo let out a final, mournful cry and fell straight from the sky, crashing onto the top of the circular platform.

CRASH—

The massive impact sent a shockwave sweeping out.

When the dust settled, Argoslo twitched once more and then lost all signs of life.

Qian Ying glanced at Long Ming, then turned and went back to killing the other flying Blood Breath Beasts.

Breathing heavily, Long Ming scanned his surroundings.

He saw Rein furiously swinging a giant axe, cleaving Lia’s head from its body in a single strike.

With a dying wail, Lia’s massive body collapsed to the ground, blood pooling everywhere.

With the support of their numerous subordinates, Qian Hai and Qian Wei had also successfully killed the Lord Level Blood Breath Beast that had charged them.

However, the overall situation was growing more desperate. Huge numbers of Blood Breath Beasts were breaking through the lines of fire and frantically climbing up the piles of corpses.

More and more Commander and Elite Level Blood Breath Beasts were leaping onto the platform.

The defending soldiers charged forward fearlessly, firing at them while also throwing spinning grenades in an attempt to blast them back down.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Many Blood Breath Beasts were blasted off the edge.

But some still endured the assault, crawling up and viciously pouncing on the soldiers.

"Brothers, I’m going on ahead!"

The soldiers who had been pounced on, seeing no hope of escape, all detonated the grenades on their bodies.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of explosions erupted.

Long Ming watched this tragic scene, silently switched to an Assaulter automatic rifle, jumped down from Argoslo’s head, and rushed to the edge of the platform to fire continuously at the incoming Blood Breath Beasts.

Just then, Captain Alang rushed to Qiansha’s side and said anxiously.

"Lord Qiansha, there are too many monsters! Our men can’t hold on much longer!"
